    PMSL, as long as I don't have to spread it on with a knife :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Mind you for a load of free points I could be tempted. To keep it Boots related, are there any you recommend, fragrance wise. I love fruity stuff like the Natural Collection but I'm a Boots novice so not really smelt the other ranges :D

    Botanics Enriching Body Cream tub is on offer at the moment and of course the vouchers etc can be used, but no smell

    S&G is amazing if you have 200 mag voucher plus 100 from spring mailing

    Mediterranean do various body butters if you wanted to get soap free;
    Grape Avocado & Lemon
    Almond Pistachio & Milk GREAT SMELL
    Olive Wheatgerm & Honey
    Bergamot, Orange & Olive

    And Amazon range with soap again:
    Mango & Babassu Body Butter GREAT SMELL
    Brazil Nut & Vanilla GREAT SMELL

    my fav is Sanctuary's Kyphi Nourishing Body Buter - now that I could spread on a bit of bread if it was edible its such a creamy butter & smells very sensual (ooo hark at me) :rotfl:

    The S&G butter that Ameliasmummy mentioned is my favourite. It came out top in the How to look good Naked poll apparently. It's one of the shea butter ones which seems to sink into your skin faster than the cocoa butter based ones, much less greasy I find. I love the smell, sort of orangey and more, some people don't like it at all so I guess it's a bit like Marmite....:D

    It is divine, but makes me itch! Definately try it if your not sensitive though!

    Very sexy lol. Well aslong as it does not make you itch of course! But I am stupidly sensitive!

    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.

    For fruity smells there's:

    Righteous butter as recommended earlier, by S&G, this is really nice, one of my faves :D
    Amazon collection Mango & Babbasu
    is another nice fruity smell. Also that one i got at weekend
    Med collection Grape, Avocado & Lemon
    is devine smelling! Very [strike]satisfying[/strike] moisturising indeed and nice and thick.

    Edit: :o OMG just read that last bit back - Ooer missus, will strike it out! :o

    Aslong as you forget your reciept(points) should not be a problem. Most people are succesful.

    And silly me...the most FRUITY body butter was the blueberry s&g. People either love or hate so have a sniff in store, also comes with 50p off coupon in the lid, so with the mag voucher 200, spring mailing 100 and 50p coupon it is only really £1.50!

    A few people have and it's been ok, even got to keep the points too :D
    There's a giftset here for £5 which has 3 minis in it, ideal if you just want to try it out. The spray is gorgeous, the scent lasts for ages.
